I was joking before going to Celebration Europe 2016 that if the only thing I did there was ILMxLAB’s Virtual Reality Experience, Trials on Tatooine, I’d be perfectly content.

Details on the making-of from the creators themselves, as well as impressions from the gaming press who have been lucky enough to test it out, below.
